how to get the RSS url in an html page?

Many html page has an url link to the RSS feed. If you have used google reader, you'll see if you add a site url (i.e: codemacro.com), it will automatically find the rss feed url which is codemacro.com/feed. So, my question is, how to find the rss url automatically?

Thanks.

You need to look for the <link>s in the <head> that give you the type of feed you are looking for. Most sites with feeds have links like:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/tech">

in their <head>. So you need to find those links with whatever programming language you are using.

The RSS Feed is generally linked via either <link> element, or with a normal <a> link whose extension is .rss The browser recognizes either of the two and displays proper options.
